Charles Petzold's Programming Windows

I was just at the book store to order Charles Petzold's Programming Windows and it wasn't there. So I placed an order. He asked me whether I wanted the Win 95 version or the 5th edition. He said 5th edition was latest. Which do I want to learn Windows programming in Windows 98 and up? I thought somebody previously said to get Programming Windows 95 and it is a lot like 98, but 5th edition is the latest edition. Which do i get? Thanks.

No, null, I don't think that I'm going to be working with MFC. For one, isn't MFC a C++ thing? I'm going to be programming Windows applications with C. Secondly, I want to work with core API. You know, the "fun" stuff. Thanks.
